Practice problems

Here is a list of exercises from the textbook based on the weekly lecture material. They are not meant to be turned in for grading, but it is recommended that you work through them to get a better understanding of the topics covered. Some midterm and final exam problems may be modelled on these exercises. Unlike homework problems, detailed solutions of these problems will not be posted, but I am happy to include hints upon request.

Week-by-week course outline

Here is a rough guideline of the course structure, arranged by week. The textbook pages are mentioned as a reference and as a reading guide. The treatment of these topics in lecture may vary somewhat from that of the text.
